Abstract
In this chapter, I present manager-desired employee attitudes and actions studied by organizational leadership researchers over the years. I contend that rather than expect managers to entice, guide, motivate employees to engage in the desired attitudes and behaviors, employees should take the initiative and provide the desired attitudes and behaviors as a means of demonstrating love for God and love for our neighbors (Matt. 22:37–40 and Col 3:23–24).
